Someone has been screaming "run the frikken ball"! And we did, nearly at will.

PT: 9 for 110 11.2 YPC

163 yards of rushing 27 carries at 6 YPC.

I don't have cheese and crackers for all the whine going around..... We looked damned good in certain places.

I did not see ONE thing that was consistently bad, nor did I see ONE thing that couldn't be corrected.

Re: Now THAT is how you run it!

just need something that resembles a defense and we'll be fine. Even with all the offensive mistakes

Like I said in the game day thread....

Out defense is hit and miss... While the pessimist sees holes, I (and I am no frikken UNICORN MILK optimist) see a defense that is what 35-40% new to starting for the Saints, learning a new very complex scheme (taking longer than I would like), from a new to the Saints coach, and showing moments of brilliance.

I am not so worried for two reasons, first it will come together, and secondly.... There are a bucket of upsets each week making going 13-3 not so necessary to get into the playoffs.
